A marriage that does not work out and goes kaput is called a broken marriage. A marriage might end up as a broken marriage because of several reasons. Either partner might prove out to be infidel or disloyal or may be having an extra-marital affair. Infidelity of the husband or wife is one of the potential reasons which break any marriage or relationship. Broken marriage terminates in the form of a divorce. Generally, when a husband files for a divorce, the wife can demand for alimony or the custody of the child or children of the couple. Broken marriages cannot survive the test of time that every relationship or marriage has to face. In the words of George Bernard Shaw, “Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.”
